    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I went so far as to get a plot next to my wife's and put a base house there. I think I put a wagon next to the house. I went inside and put some furniture in one room, but honestly it's just not that interesting to me so it's been sitting ever since. Although apparently I've "leveled up"...

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    Right now I'm literally dealing with members of the sales teams where I work who are doing that. Just dumping all the docs into a folder, pointing AI at it and having the AI crank out proposals and plans. Then they're stunned when I ask when if they had the major head trauma before or after...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    You're mistake here is that you think Blizzard/Activision/Microsoft are focusing on producing a good game and it's objectively provable that they aren't. They're focusing on getting as many people as possible to dedicate as much screen time as possible into THEIR game. And with WoW they're...

    You know you're getting old when.....

    I think this year marks when I reach a new pinnacle of old guy... I'm about to do a day of landscaping at my house, and it's going to be warm, so I'm wearing shorts... ... along with black compression socks that go to the tops of my calves. The only step past this is to wear this with sandals.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I could go on a longer rant about this but here's the condensed version... Housing in WoW is the natural extension of a key thing WoW (and many games in general, but especially long term MMOs) do. They replace real challenge and accomplishment to keep a subset of the populace placated. At...

    Firefly

    The fact is the dialogue and writing style many associate with Whedon was a small group of people who , when at their best, I think counterbalanced each other well enough to produce some amazing stuff. You want to pull a single thread that connected a lot of the TV I have loved and most since...

    You know you're getting old when.....

    Ah probably was not too uncommon for people in my age range I was , in fact, dating multiple girls named Heather at the same time at one point.

    I'm getting the feel this is going to be a podcast. He was on the one Brent Spiner and Johnathan Frakes do with Tyduk recently. It would be an easy slam dunk for them.

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    Plumbers I won't be hiring again... That's what type The dude didn't even know how to properly use a circular saw to set the plunge depth and do a plunge cut. Didn't know how deep the decking and subfloor would be to avoid slicing into a beam... I had to give him fucking lessons, then when he...

    Short phrase for what is rustling the jimmies today? My mothers house. Longer form? hot water pipe under the house busts, because the house had an AC reftrofitted to it in the 60's the return ductwork under the floor goes over there the pipes also go underground (pier and beam). So had to...

    AI: The Rise of the Machines... Or Just a Lot of Overhyped Chatbots?

    This is where I do like how Grok handles it. Grok annotates it's answers with links to sources.

    AI: The Rise of the Machines... Or Just a Lot of Overhyped Chatbots?

    For most of the basic tier uses I have for an LLM Gemini seems to work great. For me Grok is "advanced search built into x.com" I will admit I use almost no "Traditional search" where I have to then go click on links to figure out if they're a moderate match and rely more on the AI summaries...
